Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
When the work Three-Part Study For Skyline by Keith Sonnier was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in March 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at USD 10,000.00 (€ 8,116.88). Admittedly, works by Keith Sonnier have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work without title in November 2013 with an auction result of USD 62,500.00 (€ 45,935.62).
Kunstwerk zum Sechsfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Three-Part Study For Skyline von Keith Sonnier im März 2018 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 10.000,00 (€ 8.116,88) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Keith Sonnier auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit ohne Titel im November 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 62.500,00 (€ 45.935,62).
